Shear-Thickening Fluid

چکیده
Shear-Thickening Fluids (STFs) are a special Non-Newtonian Fluid that act like a solid when they experience a force. A simple example of this is a mixture of cornstarch and water. In this experiment, I text this mixture’s STF properties by using a ball drop to simulate an impact. By varying the ball drop height (and thus the force upon impact), and observing the bounce height, I determined where this solution stops acting like a liquid and starts acting like a solid. In addition, I did several subjective tests involving manipulating the fluid and observing how it reacted.

متن کاملRheology and Microstructure of Shear Thickening Fluid Suspoemulsions
A novel shear thickening suspoemulsion is formulated and studied with a new rheo-microscope instrument. The experimental fluid system is comprised of a immiscible blend of Newtonian, low molecular weight poly(dimethylsiloxane) and a shear thickening suspension of colloidal silica in poly(ethylene glycol). The blend is studied as a function of composition where phase inversion is evident at low ...

The present investigation draws scholars' attention to the effect of exponential variable viscosity modeled by Vogel and variable permeability on stagnation point flow of Carreau Nanofluid over an electromagnetic plate through a porous medium. Brownian motion and thermophoretic diffusion mechanism are taken into consideration. An efficient fourth-order RK method along with shooting technique ar...
متن کاملShear Thickening Oscillation in a Dilatant Fluid
By introducing a state variable, we construct a phenomenological fluid dynamical model of a dilatant fluid, i.e., a dense mixture of fluid and granules that shows severe shear thickening. We demonstrate that the fluid shows shear thickening oscillation, namely, the fluid flow oscillates owning to the coupling between the fluid dynamics and the internal dynamics of state. We also demonstrate tha...
متن کاملFluid dynamics of dilatant fluids.
A dense mixture of granules and liquid often shows a severe shear thickening and is called a dilatant fluid. We construct a fluid dynamics model for the dilatant fluid by introducing a phenomenological state variable for a local state of dispersed particles. With simple assumptions for an equation of the state variable, we demonstrate that the model can describe basic features of the dilatant f...
